Minnesota Nice: Entire GOP Leadership Doomed Maybe, Because Sex Stuff

When Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch resigned superfast last December, she tried to pull the Sarah Palin Special “I didn’t want Minnesota to suffer a lame duck leader” total tripe and utter nonsense. Hey it was worth a shot! She was rather cut off in the knees on that, though, when the new majority leader immediately held a press conference and went on record as saying no, actually, it was totally because she’s a slut. Now the presumed object of her affection, Michael Brodkorb — a staffer who was fired at the same time (the married) Koch resigned — is making the whole leadership plotz with, get this, a sex discrimination lawsuit. Ladies who were boned by their freaky old legislative bosses were not fired, he claims, but men who boned their hot-to-trot legislators, were! Oh lucky Minnesota press corps, what fun you are having you betcha also too.

Yesterday, attorneys representing former Senate employee Michael Brodkorb filed a notice of claim against the state of Minnesota, a precursor to a possible lawsuit against the state for improper termination. Today, it emerged that Brodkorb’s legal strategy will be to argue that some of his female colleagues who have also bonked superiors kept their job.

The Star Tribune reports that “Brodkorb’s legal team is prepared to dig deep into the romantic lives of legislators and staffers.”

From Mr. Brodkorb’s lawyers:

Mr. Brodkorb has evidence that similarly situated female legislative employees, from both political parties, were not terminated from their employment positions despite intimate relationships with male legislators. It is clear that Mr. Brodkorb was terminated based on his gender…

He intends to depose all of the female legislative staff employees who participated in intimate relationships, as well as the legislators who were party to those intimate relationships, in support of his claims of gender discrimination.

What an ingrate, this guy! In MY day, when a woman superior deigned to boink us, we kept our goddamned mouths shut, and we LIKED it!

Really! Why, I remember being caught by her husband AND a photographer once, but you didn't see me running to the courts to file suit!

No, siree! I put my arm around her and slut-walked her to her limo, boy howdy!

Rebecca, dahling! Thank you for bringing Yiddish back to teh wonket.

If French is language of love, Yiddish is the language of snark.

What she said – “I didn’t want Minnesota to suffer a lame duck leader”
What she meant “I didn’t want Minnesota to suffer a lame fuck leader”

Toomush_Infer

"I didn't want Minnesota to suffer a lame duck fucker"….Fixed….

YouBetcha

I know she is in U.S. Congress and not state government in Minnesota, but I am dying to know who Bachmann was mounting. Because you just know….

WiscDad

Perhaps it was one of the female staffers…wink wink

Her boytoy's name is Broadknob?

That explains everything!

Did he wave a gun around? Because "Brodkorbs and Boom-sticks" would be an awesome title for something.

Because I'm sure those same male legislators resigned in humiliation, too.

Hope they name the legislators and not just the staff ass

I think the whole point is to pressure a settlement to NOT name names.

The Republicans will be completely cool about this, I'm sure, because when Clinton was sued for sexual harassment and Ken Starr subpoenaed every woman who had ever been alone in a room with Clinton to testify under oath about sexual activities, the Republicans were just wildly enthusiastic about it.

Just a quick question for Our Editrix:

Are you, like, getting kickbacks from the makers of hypertension medications? Because Wonkette is sending my blood pressure into new territory these last few days.

Needz more tranny porn and pink dildoes.

Sooner or later investigators will uncover the smoking transvaginal probe.

tihond

At least they'll have the success of the Vikings to distract them from this.

HippieEsq

I don't mean to speak ill of the Dead, but this Rebecca lady (or tranny) is a fu%^ing gem compared to Angry Ken Layne.

gullywompr

Give her a few months, us commenters will get to her eventually.

Baconzgood

I know she has yet to give us a story that makes me want to reach for my Lexapro. Not that I didn't enjoy Ken. He is a fine lad.

Guppy

You just can't have a Wonkette without the -ette.

Allmighty_Manos

My workplace is really boring.

SorosBot

While that workplace is really boning.

Minnesota Legislature on the same party boat as Dante Culpepper and the Vikings?

neiltheblaze

Aw, c'mon – boss humping is a fine American tradition. Like corn dogs and tractor pulls.

Negropolis

And train-running and tailpipe decrhoming.

Slim_Pickins

Where's Barb? See hasn't commented in days. Has she been banned for conduct unbecoming of a Wonketteer?

An_Outhouse

Two public servants getting paid by the tax payer to have sex. We get video, right?

I like the "similarly situated female legislators" phrase….does he mean ass end up over a couch?…'cause that's the way I imagine him….

Hey, if the captain of a to-be-commissioned navy ship can be fired for resting in a deck chair and then get yanked off by a wave, I say go for it kid, you're just another spurned sperm doner. And the woman should pony up at least half of her retirement for the use of your hot-rod, and pay for your mental health rehab, beer and cigs too, plus at least thirty-six months of visits to a really hot sex therapist, who has a pierced tongue and snapper. Women in politics need to learn the value of battery operated tools vs cheap studs.

bauserdotcom

Wait! When did Republican men start believing in sex discrimination? I thought that was one of the crimes that sluts made up to hurt men!

ttommyunger

Does anyone with a life really care who these assholes are fucking and why?

mermera

Neal Gentry probably would have put that another way…but that's just the way I remember him.

"Brodkorb’s legal team is prepared to dig deep into the romantic lives of legislators and staffers."

This man is an American hero.

Tundra Grifter

Can we cut to the chase? Who paid for Brodkorb's birth control?

Does he have a broad korb?

proudgrampa

Mmmmm. Minnesota. Isn't that where Bachmann is from? I see a pattern here.

comrad_darkness

Santa may be late, but at least he arrived with a bag full of goodies.

comrad_darkness

I, personally, don't care, until they try to tell me who to fuck and when. Then it really matters all of a sudden.

unclejeems

I don't speak German, but when I diddle with the German English translator online, the translation for Brodkorb keeps telling me his name means something like really smelly vaporous breadbasket. Puts a whole new spin on things.

C_R_Eature

I have a technical question: When these Office Boffers fill out their time sheets, do they use separate charge codes for Boffing, or is it all Overhead?
I hope they're tracking the hours. For efficiency's sake.

Boojum_Reborn

If they're over head, they're doing it rong,

Monsieur_Grumpe

Come on Brodkorb, take it like a man…. Amy did.

Since ancient times I have wondered who that lady is behind Mary Tyler-Moore. See her in the drab pink raincoat, scarf over her beauty parlor hair.

You see, guys; you see what happens? You see what happens when you "find a stranger in the Alps?"
